Matthew Caufield has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily centered around the promising therapeutic profile of Lorundrostat, Mineralys Therapeutics’ key drug candidate. Lorundrostat has shown positive outcomes in treating hypertension and related conditions by targeting dysregulated aldosterone. This success is expected to facilitate a favorable reception by the FDA during the anticipated NDA submission, with potential applications extending into chronic kidney disease and obstructive sleep apnea.
Furthermore, the positive results from pivotal trials, such as Launch-HTN and Advance-HTN, have demonstrated significant blood pressure benefits, reinforcing the drug’s potential. The Phase 2 Explore-CKD trial also showed considerable improvements in kidney function, which strengthens the case for a robust NDA submission. Despite concerns about hyperkalemia, these are being effectively managed, and the drug’s safety profile remains favorable. The flexibility in dosing, supported by trial outcomes, adds to the drug’s appeal, positioning it well for future market success.
